Pop star heading to Edinburgh for Christmas event
Girls Aloud’ star Nadine Coyle is coming to Edinburgh for the free Christmas ‘Light Night’ concert in Princes Street Gardens.
Edinburgh’s Christmas, with Halo organisers Unique Assembly, have announced that the singer will perform at the Ross Bandstand with a show packed full of chart-topping pop and festive sparkle, for LNER’s free ‘Light Night Concert’.
Headlining Light Night with LNER, Coyle will perform some of the iconic girl band’s biggest hits including ‘Love Machine’, ‘Sound of the Underground’ and ‘The Promise’.
The free event also includes a festive sing-a-long of Christmas classics with the Pheonix Choir and Voice of the Town, a beautiful Lantern Procession, and a visit from Santa himself, all beneath the stunning backdrop of Edinburgh Castle.
The ‘Light Night with LNER’ will kick-off at 3pm, on Sunday, November 22 and the event is free for all to attend.
Stuart Thomas, communications director at LNER, said: "Every year, LNER connects millions of people from across the UK with all that Edinburgh has to offer, including its spectacular Christmas and Hogmanay events.
“That's why we're thrilled to be expanding our partnership with Edinburgh's Christmas and cannot wait to bring festive cheer to the thousands of people joining us onboard the LNER Big Wheel or at Light Night with LNER.”
This year, their new partnership of ‘Light Night with LNER’, helps spread festive cheer, bringing free community events to the capital, and supporting charity fundraising across the seven-weeks of Edinburgh Winter Festivals.
This year, a fundraising target of £75,000 will support the incredible work of official local charities One City Trust, When you Wish Upon A Star, My Name’5 Doddie, CALM and Street Assist Edinburgh.
Stuart added: "At LNER, we're passionate about supporting the communities that we serve. This year, we're delighted that we are helping to deliver free community events, such as Light Night with LNER, kick-starting the city's celebrations.
“We'll also be helping raise vital money for good causes in and around the area, including our charity partner CALM, all with a little LNER sparkle."
On continuing the partnership with LNER, Unique Assembly said: "We’re thrilled to expand our strong partnership with LNER this year, raising valuable funds for CALM and welcoming Nadine Coyle to the Ross Bandstand Programme.
“The LNER Big Wheel is a favoured mainstay of the Edinburgh’s Christmas programme, and an iconic addition to the stunning festive landscape in Edinburgh, it’s fantastic that LNER can join us for more events.”
Light Night with LNER will also feature performances from the cast of Back to the Future at the Edinburgh Playhouse, La Clique Noël, Phoenix Choir, Insane Magic and more.
